I’ve listened to the original Narcissist a few times, this part from it is really good. Love the melody and voice clips, reminds me of the stuff Yves Tumor does with their sound collage work.

do you have any big thoughts on this new one yet?

I’m liking it the more I listen, it’s not as ambitious as the original Black Metal and doesn’t have a clear concept like The Redeemer or The Narcissist II, but he’s playing to his strengths. These are some of his most graceful string arrangements and overall production, his chemistry with Joanne is great as well. The runtime seems perfect for what he’s going for here. Feels like he pulled one last trick out of his hat, subverting expectations once again.

What do you think?

the lush strings gotta be courtesy of mica
to me it's more of a continuation of the wahalla sound, don't wanna sound too almighty but i think it's a real rebuke of post-black metal fans who never understood the sincerity in the first place

The involvement of Mica and Kwake Bass is great, i’m glad they were part of the album. Your last point makes sense tbh, I can see that.

i really enjoy black metal 2, havent formed my final opinion but its one of my faves this year

that muggy/blue iverson stuff comes thru as well

that's the same I got on Tidal too

I'd love to know which one, did some googling and couldn't find anything about this :I

Favorites on here (bedsides the rot)?

Nil by Mouth & sketamine for me

Anyone got a Roaches 2012-2019 Super Deluxe version dl?

this is from the attitude era

Sketamine

ur a mad man

tbh after taking my time with the record and having my fair share of racist encounters with cacs on the street while listening to this with my yt gf it’s safe 2 say that this is not only album of the year thus far but it’s time that dean is recognized as the artist he is

none of this is games and i’m tired of ppl selling it as some trick

black metal series and soul on fire and redeemer are enough to solidify him tbh. that’s ignoring so many other great releases. but this guy seriously is gonna be remembered bc i don’t think he’s getting his props now

also confident in saying dash snow is my fav dean blunt song of all time lol

BM2 ight

let it out!

Joanne Robertson took that s*** to heaven

love that track!

anybody gonna mention that NIL BY MOUTH references Ramones' I Wanna Be Well

My favorite album this year by a lot. It helps that it’s so concise
